The Inescapable Figure
Looking at Qian Renxue's stunning smile, Jun Xuehan was momentarily stunned, and memories of her life in the Heaven Dou City mansion six years ago involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
It was Qian Renxue who rescued him by the river, and it was Qian Renxue who had someone help him Awakening Martial Soul, leading him onto the path of Soul Master. Not only that, Qian Renxue was also the first person to treat him kindly, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the first person to treat him kindly.
They gifted him Soul Bone, set aside their arrogance, helped him find the most suitable teacher, and even specially requested the Great Worship Elder of the Worship Hall to take special care of him.
Although Jun Xuehan didn't say anything about these things, she kept them all in her heart.
Qian Renxue was also watching Jun Xuehan. Ever since she rescued him from the riverbank six years ago, he had brought her far too many surprises and shocks.
Innate Full Soul Power, Twin Martial Souls, and God-Bestowed Martial Soul, this person is favored by the gods, possesses Beyond Optimal Soul Ring Configuration, has strategies that are second to none, and knows things that ordinary people do not know.
There seems to be a faint mist surrounding him, which arouses people's curiosity and makes them want to understand him, to lift the mist and explore the secrets within.
Their eyes met. One possessed a peerless beauty that could launch a thousand ships, while the other had a flawless, Immortal Face. Their golden and silver eyes gazed at each other, each seeing only the other's image, as if they had drawn the other's image into their eyes and etched it deeply into their minds, Jiujiu to be forgotten.
A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling their hair.
Silence! The entire restaurant was completely silent at this moment; not a single sound could be heard.
She Long entered at some point, and seeing the two staring at each other, he coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, Young Master..."
Before She Long could finish speaking, Qian Renxue and Jun Xuehan turned their gazes toward him.
As if She Long had disrupted the quiet atmosphere, Qian Renxue's phoenix eyes appeared very sharp, while Jun Xuehan's silver eyes were as cold as ice and snow.
Looking at the two men's eyes, She Long was puzzled and confused, wondering what was going on.
But in the blink of an eye, Qian Renxue's expression returned to calm, while Jun Xuehan's eyes remained as cold as ever, as if nothing had happened and that what She Long had seen was just an illusion.
"What's wrong, She Long? Is something the matter?" Qian Renxue asked calmly.
"Sister Xue'er, I'm going back to rest now." Jun Xuehan said coldly, then walked straight out of the restaurant and headed towards her original room.
"Okay, go ahead, it's getting late." Qian Renxue nodded slightly, agreed, and then looked calmly at She Long ahead.
"Young Master, someone just sent word that Xue Ye has invited you over, it seems there's something he needs to discuss." She Long was puzzled by the sudden change in their demeanor.
But he was certain that what he had just seen was not an illusion. He was a Titled Douluo, and it was impossible for him to be deaf or blind.
"Xue Ye is looking for me? Hmm, I know." Qian Renxue nodded slightly, a faint golden light emanating from her body. Disguised as Xue Qinghe, she stood up, put her hands behind her back, and headed out of the restaurant.
Watching Qian Renxue's departing figure, She Long stroked his chin, trying to figure out what had just happened. He stood there thinking for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a solution.
Jun Xuehan arrived at the room where she used to live. Looking at the spotless room, not only was it clean and tidy, but the layout was also exactly the same as it had been six years ago, without any changes.
Jun Xuehan sat on the bed, and for some reason, he had a strange reluctance to Meditative Cultivation.
Jun Xuehan got out of bed, walked out of the room, looked up at the starry night sky, and then leaped onto the roof. She lay down on the roof and gazed quietly at the starry sky.
As the stars began to twinkle, a thoughtful expression appeared in Jun Xuehan's eyes, as if she were pondering something.
After an unknown amount of time, Qian Renxue returned to her boudoir from Xue Ye's place. She sat by her window, resting her chin on her hand, gazing at the starry sky. Involuntarily, the voice she had heard from Jun Xuehan when he left Heaven Dou City six years ago came to mind.
"You saved my life by the river, and I will protect you with my Dragon Spear for eternity!"
Thinking of Qian Renxue, a great joy rose in her heart, but when she thought that Jun Xuehan could not stay in Heaven Dou City for long, the great joy was overshadowed by a strange sense of loss.
"Why do I keep thinking about him? He's always Bing Bing, like a block of ice. It's really strange." Qian Renxue shook her head gently, as if trying to sort out her thoughts.
The next day, early morning!
As the sun rose, a ray of sunlight fell on the earth. Jun Xuehan sat up from the roof, jumped down, and gently patted the dust off her body.
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue, who was in her boudoir, stretched her body, got up from her chair, and walked straight toward the door.
As Qian Renxue stepped out of her room, she looked at Jun Xuehan, who was brushing the dust off her clothes.
"Xuehan, why are you up so early?" Qian Renxue blinked and asked.
"Sister Xue'er, didn't you say you were going to Sunset Forest early this morning?" Jun Xuehan said slowly.
"Okay, I said it. Go wash up first. I'll go call Ci Xue, and we'll head to Sunset Forest." Qian Renxue nodded slightly and headed towards Ci Xue's room.
It's only around five o'clock now, Qian Renxue is up so early because she's been sitting by the window watching the stars all night.
Jun Xuehan was basically the same as her, the only difference being that one was watching from the window while the other was watching from the rooftop.
After a quick wash, Qian Renxue, Jun Xuehan, Ci Xue left the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace through the passage and headed towards the Sunset Forest Heaven Dou City.
Around eight o'clock in the morning, the three of them arrived at Sunset Forest and headed straight for the center of the Sunset Forest.
Although Jun Xuehan did not know the exact location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the features of an iceberg and a volcano were still very obvious. As long as she searched in the central area of Sunset Forest, she would be able to find it.
After searching for about two hours, Qian Renxue, Jun Xuehan, and Ci Xue quietly examined the iceberg and volcano that had appeared before them, as well as the Poison Array surrounding them.
